What it reminds me most of is Carlos Santana. When he had one huge hit and suddenly everyone thought he was a new star. I'm pretty sure you just missed badgenome's sarcasm though. Hell it's all a part of what may be my biggest pet peeve "Documenteering" made popular by Michael Moore, or probaby someone else before him I don't know. Hell for another recent example look at Mike Daisy on "This American life." Or that recent documentry on Sarah Palin.
Someone makes a documentary that's awful and often filled with lies to fit a certain viewpoint, it's passed around like it's true and presented like it's true, the author gets some backlash and falls behind "It's meant to envoke an emotion on the issue, not be 100% factual."
90% of docuemntaries made today would better fit under the label "Propaganda." Yeah... envole a fake emotion based on your premanufactured garabge. IE meant to be Propaganda. |
I caught the sarcasm, i was just moving the conversation along.
@ richardhutnik. Reality TV has the same problem as documenteering, and arguably worse, because with documentaries you at least expect some sort of angle, whereas reality TV hides the level of producer control going on behind the scenes quite often.
